A Note from Aleem – Earth Trip Madagascar Specialist

“Azura is the place I recommend when you want that classic ‘resort’ feel with all the bells and whistles on the East Coast. What I love about it is the sheer level of comfort—the rooms are massive and the spa is fantastic. It’s located in Foulepointe, which has a wonderful coral reef that keeps the water calm and shallow, making it one of the safest and most relaxing swimming spots in the country. It’s the perfect end to a trip through the rainforests of Andasibe.”

Frequently Asked Questions: Foulepointe & The East Coast

Is the beach at Azura suitable for swimming? Yes, the beach in front of the resort is protected by a natural coral reef roughly 150 meters out. This creates a calm, shallow lagoon that is excellent for swimming and wading, regardless of the tide, making it a popular choice for families and those who prefer tranquil waters.

What excursions can I do from the resort? Beyond the beach, we can arrange visits to the historic Manda Fort, a 19th-century fortification made of coral and egg whites. You can also explore the local markets of Foulepointe or take a traditional dugout canoe trip to the outer reef for snorkeling.

How do I reach Azura Hotel & Spa? The resort is located about 50km north of Toamasina (Tamatave). Most guests arrive via a domestic flight to Toamasina followed by a private road transfer, which takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours along the scenic coastal road.
